HP 3PAR CIM API Programming Reference

• TargetPool: Reference to the StoragePool from which the virtual copy volume is allocated.
This can either be NULL or the TPD_DeltaReplicaStoragePool associated with the
SourceElement volume. Any other values results in a Invalid Parameter error.
• CopyType: Can only be “UnsyncAssoc” (4)
◦ UnsyncAssoc: Creates an unsynchronized virtual copy that is associated to the source
StorageVolume.

STATE TRANSITIONS
Table 56 (page 70) shows the values for SyncState and WhenSynced during various stages of
the virtual copy creation.

SMI-S METHOD
Virtual copy promote can be done using the
TPD_StorageConfigurationService.ModifySynchronization() method with the
Operation parameter set to Restore (5).
The method execution, if successful, always returns 0x1000, which means that job has started.
STATE TRANSITIONS
Here are the values for SyncState and WhenSynced during various stages of promoting virtual
copy.
